Pete Domenici: “I say to the Senator, you understand this is a difficult amendment. We have had objection from the Armed Services…”

I want to remind the committee again, and I will say it to you, Senator Snowe, remember, our package was put together by Democrats and Republicans, so we do not come here starting with one side or the other.

I think that the last point that Dr. Rivlin made you can find in the report: that our plan is more progressive than the tax code we are replacing.

That is clearly a part of it, no question.
